"WHAT IF" by chance of Fate or Worm Hole a man form the future went back in time and was able to sale the Confederacy let say twenty WW2 PT-Boats....along with appropriate supply of fuel and armaments to fight for at least a year to 6 months?
How would this have change the River war out west?
Could the union have been able to maintain their Blockade?
PT-Boats.......What if.....
Could you picture Admiral Buchannan going into at Mobile Bay riding a PT-Boat.?
It sounds like a theme for an alternate histroy Sci Fi book....
I see many of one think PT-BOATS could not have been brought back in time.....PT-boats may not have been a game changer because WW2 PT's were made out of wood, not reinforce wood either. I am pointing out that if one took a hit in battle. It most likely would have been knock out of action.....It was armed with only 50 cals which is a great weapon and two torpedoes, only two shoots to sink a ship.
May have had only a limiting role in the war
I can't goat someone into joining my Sci Fi civil war alternative history theme........ PT boats lets say only a few went back in time with limited fuel and supplies, where could they have had their biggest influence in the river war or blockaded ports?.... I know there are a few Sci fi fans out there....
